This is exactly the information I was looking for!
Thirty minutes on my debian box, and I have a working build!

For anyone searching this in the future, I'm using:
libgpg-error-1.7
libgcrypt-1.4.4
libotr-3.2.0
wxWidgets-2.5.5 (google for wxAll-2.5.5.tar.gz)
otrproxy-0.3.1

Add the following to the configure lines for the third party libs:
--host=i586-mingw32msvc --prefix=/usr/i586-mingw32msvc

For wxWidgets, follow the instructions in docs/msw/install.txt, and add 
the above.

Compile the otr software with the exact configure command lines from 
their respective INSTALL files.

Now, a couple more questions (details details...)
- the executable is 24 MB, rather than the 2 MB in the official build
- it complains about missing dll files. Was the official build statically 
linked?

How do I change those things?

Thanks!
